    NP: MAKARA - E.S. Posthumus

    It's like the hyper-action sequel album to the original gloriosity of Unearthed.

    I love the 1st and 2nd album, this third one's a different beast; where's cartographer was laid-back, song-driven, mellow and melodic, this is at the very opposite, a bombastic mix of guitars, electronics, orchestra and choir. It's real fun indeed, but it reminds me of trailer music; they've lost a bit of their unmistakable character which prevailed the first 2 albums.

    I don't like this one as much as I want to. Unearthed still IS their best album. Makara style is a direct response to Cartographer's laidback mood, and I think mixing them together would yield a superior listening experience.

    You're very right. In Makara, i feel that they only proceeded in such a direction as an answer to the fans that were complaining about the smoothness and song-centered nature of Cartographer, which was an excellent album and a very coherent listening experience btw. Therefore, as an album of mere response, it lacks passion in it, something which surely prevailed both their previous albums. The first one especially, is indeed their top moment so far.

  8. Sinbad:LotSS - HGW

    Inspired by (what I thought was) Southall's hyperbolic criticism. Turns out the theme is much shorter than he had said, and it has indeed appeared in each of the first three tracks (though not without variation)...

    Agree! This wins over Red Violin easily IMO.

    I watched the film recently. It really is a masterful score. Now, I love Red Violin and have no problem with it winning an Oscar, but looking back now, American Beauty feels like one of the most important scores of the last couple of decades. It had such an influence on film music - and unlike all other major influences on film music in that period, this one was actually a positive influence! Newman became the latest composer to show how you could write really strong, dramatically-potent music in a very modern, creative way. (I know he had employed a relatively similar style beforehand, but this was the breakthrough.)


    Put much better than I would have and I totally agree.

    Indeed, let's not exaggerate. RED VIOLIN is also an exceptionally brilliant film score.

    For sure, The Red Violin is a very good score and, on balance, a deserving winner. American Beauty is the far more important score though.

  15. NP: The Mists of Avalon (Lee Holdridge)

    One of the most impressive miniseries scores of the last 20 years. It has the legendary feel, the strength of melody that we so rarely get from these kinds of scores anymore. (For me, this is so far ahead of wannabe adventure scores like Doyle's GOBLET OF FIRE or Newton Howard's KING KONG as to make me scratch my head at the acclaim those receive.)

    It's too bad that a lot of the battle music wasn't included on this release.

    I wish there were years nowadays when two or three very good scores would be nominated for an Oscar!

    Wonderful scores, both of them.

    n.p. HANS ZIMMER - Peacemaker (complete)

    Brain turned off, volume all the way up same goes for low frequencies. It's been ages since i last played this and it feels soooo good! Fun part: "Devoe's revenge" is Pirates of the Caribbean years before this actually existed. wink

    It gets too much on the complete form though.

  25. Interesting, the complete form is all I can take of it! The official album misses most of the ethnic stuff, which are always a highlight.

    Lots of uninteresting passage pieces to the action driven, theme-led pieces. Those tire me.

    I still remember the day I got the complete and could listen to cues like "Password", "Outside Line", "Family", the film version of "Chase" and all the cues from the ending of the film. Essential!

    Though I am curious to know why you thought I "obviously" didn't like it and found it "odd" that I did? I've sung the praises of this one a few times! (Not recently, admittedly. I really should give it another listen soon.)

    First listen of, HOWARD SHORE - Edge of Darkness

    Interesting brooding orchestral textures, and apt percussive work in some places. Certainly not the "return" some expect though.
